The History Of Old Hill Village
Old Hill Village is a haunted town located in Merrimack County, New Hampshire. The village dates back to 1754 when it was first referred to as New Chester. Over the years, it was renamed Hill in honor of the governor named Isaac Hill. This village had to be relocated entirely back in 1941. A flood reservoir was planned to be built in the original town, and the people relocated to the now Hill Village, leaving Old Hill behind. The Pemigewasset River needed flood control, and that was what caused the need for a reservoir. In 1940, the village formed a plan to move, and it’s inspiring how an entire town came together to make a new home together, and it was successful too. However, the history doesn’t end there for the village. The 1941 version of the Old Hill Village is still around today, frozen in time. The state has done its best to preserve this location.
The Haunting Of Old Hill Village
Since the village is so old, many people have lived and died there. Many gravestones have been damaged from the years and minor flooding, meaning those gravestones are broken and cannot be identified. It’s possible the citizens of Old Hill Village still inhabit the town. The ghosts there aren’t pleased with the way their life went. Their town was forced to relocate, and on top of that, their gravestones were destroyed. Despite there being remnants of the old town still there, the ghosts are angry at the destruction. Although Old Hill Village isn’t a popular tourist spot, those who have gone for sledding and hiking reasons have reported feeling like they were being watched and sudden chills. Since there’s so many cemeteries, there’s a high chance that ghosts still roam the paths.
